It wasn't my original intention to turn this into a thread. Out of curiosity, I figured I'd try to see what Mitt was doing on the campaign trail four years ago at this time. You know, since he is so adamant that Donald Trump is a disaster for the Republican Party. I figured I'd try and go back in time and see how active his campaign was at this time four years ago. Because I seem to remember that Mitt pretty much dropped out of sight for a while after clinching the nomination.

The schedule I pulled up from four years ago (June 11-18 2012) was pretty much ho-hum. An ice cream event here, a hamburger stop there and a meatball hoagie after getting run off by protesters and skipping a scheduled event.

In fact, twice during that week, Romney allowed the protesters to basically take him off schedule. Instead of a Wa-Wa gas station stop, he bypassed it and went to a Wa-Wa convenience store across town instead where he purchased the meatball sandwich - press in tow. Then on Father's Day during an event in Ohio, when he was speaking from the back of a flatbed truck, the crowd chanted "Romney Go Home" so loudly that he cut his appearance short.

From what I saw of four years ago, it did not seem to be a very inspired effort on the part of Mitt Romney. I'm going to see if I can bump a Free Republic thread from that time period to see what the Freepers were saying about Romney at the time.

I was at the Quakertown Wa Wa. There was a busload of Philly protestors but nearly 1000 supporters. He could have made a real statement if he stopped there. I was then convinces if he would not stand up to 50 leeches he was a pussy. I am proud to say I wrote in my selection in November based on this experience and others. Romney is a republipussy.
